Also take a notebook to the gym and record your progress. You will see the progress unfold. You will also see where you were last week and attempt to push yourself by increasing the weight.

+1 for sure...some guys just go in and lift whatever and it works for them, but absent a sixth sense I advise all guys to keep a program with all their sets, reps and weights on there. If you aren't getting blasted sore after a workout, up your weights (keep it light in injury areas though).

I'm just getting back into the gym after a 2 month absence, 5 weeks to travel and being sick, 3 weeks to being lazy. My strength is down but coming back, and I'm starting a workout and diet plan that will hopefully take me to 215 by the end of the month and to 210 by the end of October. I was a fat ass in high school at about 280 my freshman year, but at 6'4" I hid it a lot easier than some other kids could have; and playing baseball kept me in some semblance of shape, but it was mostly a round one. My senior year I lost 40 lbs and kept that off for about 6 years and and then post college I got a little more serious and lost another 10 for a year or so and now I'm finally at 220 and seeing tone I never have before, largely on the motivation of making myself the most complete man I can be. With the positive byproduct of being more attractive chicks and being able to completely physically dominate them when I hook one. +1 to this site and others like it for showing men all over the way.

It's amazing how consistently the various game/RP men's sites advocate good weight training, from Athol Kay who's all about marriage to Danger&Play who is decidedly different. It keeps a man in shape and exercises his ability to mentally and physically dominate.

The really notable thing is that lifting weights is something that is almost guaranteed to bring results. You do the work (as Victor Pride says) and you see results, easily measurable by the numbers on the weights. It's fucking simple. If a dude can't bring himself to do the work in the gym, it's a red flag he may not be able to do the work in other areas that need improvement, and will be coasting on his natural talents which eventually run out.

I can shoot hoops or practice my putting for months, but might not get any better if I'm just not cut out for the sport. But every human body responds to weight training and can go from soft to at least reasonably toned.
